You have to have a pop-accessible (premium) yahoo account. They have their own help pages that give their particular settings.

Does it "freeze" at "connecting" or does it eventually time out not finding the server?

Show us your configuration for smtp in Sylpheed.

it eventually times out..the settings for smtp are
server: smtp.gmail.com
SMPT authentication checked yes with username and password
STARTTLS checked yes
port 465
Generate message ID and add date header feild checked yes
protcoal POP3 normal
ive tried playing with the settings and that usually just gets me some sort of error message..at least i can still see whats in my inbox
thanks for your help
